timing of bloodwork

[LowT Mike]

Always do lab draws on day 3 or 4 post injection day. If you are a hyper excretor and wait until day 7 past injection looking at the graph above your levels are going to be back at baseline. So if one of our patients did this then we would get low readings and keep titrating him upward where the first few days he would be superphysiologic. not good. Bass if your baseline is 650-850 on day 7 doing 1 time per week injection your levels are way north of 1500 most likely. Labcorp cant even measure that high just says >1500. Also not good. More DHT conversion, more E2 conversion bad for the prostate and much higher hematocrit. Its probably why so many guys on this site Ive noticed have to do blood draws because their hematocrit is going sky high. Thats I sign you are dosing way too much. I would say probably 2-3% of LT.com patients have to do a blood draw for high hematocirt. They feel great because dosing is on par and labs are drawn at the right times consistently. If you are doing 2x per week injections of T it dosent matter really when you do your blood draw. Just make sure you continue to get the draw at the same time for every blood work. Looking for consistency here.

ahhhh, I see what you're saying regarding peaks on once a week shot, I am on twice a week, so in reality I draw BW at peak day as you are suggesting! I knew i'd see your logic sooner or later thanks for taking the time to explain, good info as usual.
